Everything is a very casual mention but there are a large range of trigger subjects. These are not explored and any justification is weak. Marginalised groups are used to strengthen the authors’ arguments when convenient. The authors do not speak to act as allies for these same groups when it is new age theories which are othering these groups. These new age theories have influenced dangerous modern groups and leaving only a passing mention is not enough in the current editions of this book to justify the mention.
